Introduction
Congratulations!
Your new Sano Liftkar PT-U and PT-A provides you with an easy method of
conveying wheelchair users up and down stairs safely. The Liftkar PT-S provides you
with a method of transporting a disabled person up or down the stairs while seated
on the device and not in a wheelchair. The Liftkar PT is a mobile stair-climber,
meaning you can take it with you to use on any stairs. Liftkar PT gives you more
freedom as a result. At the same time, professionals or caregivers that have been
trained and certified, no longer need to strain their backs on the stairs.
Releasing a lever that is easily accessible without the operator having to bend down
lets the Liftkar PT be dismantled into 3 handy parts: the climber unit approximately
(15 kg/ 33 lbs) and the battery pack and handle unit approximately (4 kg/ 9 lbs each).
All parts are easy to stow away because they are lightweight and compact.
On stairs the Liftkar PT is remarkably smooth to operate and safe to handle. As a
mobility provider, partner, relative or friend, Sano wishes you all the best in using this
stair-climber. We hope you will find this instruction manual useful in finding out how to
operate your Liftkar PT.
In order to update you about product news as well as technical changes (e.g.
options, accessories) we ask you to register your product online.

General Safety Guidlines
▪
Read these instructions carefully. Make sure you comply with all instructions in
this manual and on signs fitted to the equipment. Climbing stairs presents a risk
in itself and not complying with these instructions could cause accidents.
▪
The stairclimber may only be used for the purpose for which it has been
designed
– transporting people on stairs.
▪
Maximum weight should be honoured and never exceed the maximum capacity.
▪
The Liftkar PT may only be operated by people who
-
have proof of having been trained in how to operate the stairclimber
-
can walk upstairs backwards
-
are both physically and mentally sound
-
are able to maintain balance without great physical strain.
-
are not under the influence of alcohol or substance abuse.
▪
Never operate the Liftkar PT on surfaces that are wet, slippery, polished or
waxed, smooth, icy or generally do not give the operator sufficient stability, and
impair the braking performance of the brakes on the transport wheels. Rugs and
carpets can also present a risk and must be secured.
▪
Under no circumstances may you let go of the handle while operating the
stairclimber on the stairs.
